Now my feet really hurt

Day two of Emerald City Comic Con and my day started with queuing up with everyone else. They opened the doors 15 minutes early and I made a beeline for Bruce Timm’s table, determined to get on his list for the day. I had promises to keep! And I met with success. Hooray!

Then it was time for a Nutella crepe but with bananas this time.

Today was spent waiting in line for Barry Kitson. It’s been four years since I last got a sketch from him so I figured it was time for another one. Thus I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Thank god Barry is such a pleasant person to be around and he usually attracts equally nice people who wait for his sketches. Barry started my piece at about 6:10 and the show was closing at 7pm. It was a race to see what would happen first – Barry finishing the piece or the bugle being sounded to indicate the end of the day and then the dimming of the lights. The bugle won. Barry decided he couldn’t finish the piece in the reduced light so I’ll be back in his line tomorrow to see him put the final touches on it. Maybe. I might just sleep in instead. After all, my feet are killing me!

    Wow. I thought Ben’s Supergirl was the best I’d seen Barry do, including my own, until I saw the one he is doing for you. Congrats.

    Hope you have a great Sunday at the show and thanks again for the BT.

      Oh, it’s not my Supergirl. I’m getting a Catwoman. This Supergirl belongs to a guy who was lucky enough to get it done in the morning. Supergirl isn’t a character I’d ever get pieces of, although this one did make it quite tempting.
